B6: shooting_stars

Problem

Print the pattern:

OO#O
O#OO
#OO#
OO#O
O#OO
#OO#
OO#O
O#OO

55. B6: shooting_stars, Comet 64

Solution 1

Use a string to encode the pattern. Test whether the character at index i is x and print the boolean result.

str = ooxooxooxooxooxooxooxooxooxooxoo;  // Encoded pattern.
char = str[int];  // Character at index i.
check char = x;   // Is character = x?
output = bool;    // Print boolean result.
int++;            // Increment the index.

Solution 2

We have the pattern:

oox

Print this pattern over and over. Let the game implicitly loop over the program to take care of the rest. This solution is optimal, according to the game.

output = false;  // Print the pattern
output = false;  // oox over and over.
output = true;   //
